I'm the first to admit the idea is not mine. What you see is my interpretation of strain2k's idea. Any praises I get for this idea will be relayed in full to him via e-mail.
That said, this was my first studio shot and I realise it's not perfect, but it's the best I could do in an hour and a half.
Post-processing consists of curves, USM, crop, resize and USM again. Colors are straight from the camera (probably not a good idea...)
Be gentle, this is only my second challenge...
This was my meaning of pain.

Wow, 24 comments on my second challenge ever! And a jump of more than 40 places. I feel the DPC community is really helping me focus on photography better. Thanks again for the comments, everyone. As I said, all credit goes to strain2k, whose idea I shamelessly stole.
Looks slightly out of focus and oversharpened to compensate. Good idea, could do with less chain from the top and a slightly tighter crop on the apple and hardware.
I love this picture. Personaly, I would've gave it more negative space. Rule of third, apple in the lower right intersection. But I love the tones and the grainyness...
well composed. I don't see a whole lot of pain, though. I just kinda wish I could pull out all the screws, nails, and eat the apple (it looks pretty juicy).
